The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities.

Domains play a key role when it comes to hosting a website over the web world and thus managing the DNS records for a particular domain manually can prove to be extremely tedious at times. Pointing domains to a particular IP includes adding an “A”, “AAAA”, CNAME”, etc record to the zone file of the particular domains so as to get it live and pointing to the respective IP.

Webuzo installs the DNS Server (BIND) by just a click from the Webuzo Enduser Panel and managing DNS records has become elementary task for the users. Users can Add / Remove/ Edit DNS records with a simple and easy to use GUI.
